    Pretty good mystery, although talky & overlong
    Although it's talky and overlong, even at 82 minutes, I found "Cécile est morte!" a slight improvement over its immediate predecessor, "Picpus", because the story is more engaging and it does keep you guessing what the hell is going on! (it even involves a headless corpse). In addition to the mystery, there is a sizable amount of black humor ("she was all heart, no head") and some amusing supporting characters, most notably a Lolita-like teenage girl who keeps coming on to Maigret (and other men), and who is - daringly - played by an actual 15-year-old (at the time) actress. **1/2 out of 4.
